Encouraged by the wonderful success which
has attended the planting of the cinchona tree
in India. the Indian government has just deter
mined to make similar experiment. by under
taking the cultivation of the ipecacuAnha plant.
1t was TO Mr.. Clements Markham bat the credit
or introducing the cinchona tree TO our eastern
empire was Que, and 1t is in consequence of the
advice of the sureeon-general and the govern
ment botanist of the Madras Presidency that
the recent step has been taken. The ipecacuanha
plant Is TO be cultivated, on a small scale at
hrst among the Nileiris hills, and it will be
somewhat curious if private enterprise does not

No wind, no bird The river flames like brass.
On either side smitten with spell
OF silence broods the fields. In the deep grass
Edging the dusty road, lie as they fell
Handouts of shriveled leaves from tree and bush.
Along the orchard fence and at the gate
Thrusting their saffron torches through the bush,
Wild lilies blaze and bees hum soon and late.
Rust-colored the tall struggling brer not one
Rose left. The spider sits its loom up there
Close to the roots. and spins out in the
A slken web from twig to twig. The air
Is full of hot. rank scents Upon the hill
Drifts the moons single cloud, white glarine, still.

With q Prayer-Book.

In Common Prayer our hearts ascend
To that white throne where angels bend,
Now grant, o Lord. that those who call
Themselves by Thy dear name may all
Show forth Thy praise in lives that tend
To noble purpose. lofty end
And unto as Thy blessing lend
As low upon our knees we fall
In Common Prayer.
In this dear book past ages blend
Their voice with ours; do commend
Our souls, in doubt and sin held thrall,
To His fond care and cot and hail.
Alike to him petitions send
In Common Prayer.

TIE Locust.

Amid the MONDAY drowsiness
His voice is strangely shrill-
He has sturdy pair of lungs,
And self asserting will
To modest minstrels of the grass
He does grievous wrong.
As though he would exterminate
Their music in his song
He emigrates from place to place,
His mode of life is rude.
He's something of vagabond
In gormandizing food
And yet this insect egotist,
Disdainng bee and bird.
Is like some noisy folks we know
Determined to be heard

other members of the party, with four boats
and guide, went off with their trolling
lines out and with abundant lunches aboard.

to give the President chance to take some
specltled trout with a light rod. The
creek was swarming with black flies
and mosquitoes, which contested every foot

party. Having made a good fight for
awhile, the fishermen finally gave up the
battle and retired with one Speckied trout
caught by the President, and with many
evidences of the bad usages from their
winged adversaries After landing at the
hotel at 7:30 o'clock the Presidents
fish were weighed. He had caught one
weighing seven and three-quarter pounds
one of seven pounds, one of three and one
of two pounds. 1t was the best catch, save
one, of the day. J. NJ Wyants, of New
